nope
never heard of it
ps that wasn’t my fault and that’s what’s important here
the plugin updated and it didn’t account for IP addresses in new ipv6 format (aka, they’re longer)
so when recording likes to the database, it couldn’t write in the entire IP because it didn’t allow itself enough characters
so the system never thought anyone liked a post (to prevent duplicate likes) because your IP never matched the recorded, trimmed IP
…
nobody asked but i do what i want
